Umi Hibachi Express - Daytona Beach

I was really disappointed with the food. I'm from the city, and the hibachi place there is fantastic—I always love their food—which might have set my expectations too high for this restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy anything I ordered. The salad dressing was unappetizing, the steak wasn't good, and the yam sauce fell flat. The rice was bland as well. I didn't even bother trying the vegetables because I was so let down by everything else. I regretted my choice and couldn't even finish my meal.

There’s not much to rave about. The food lacked flavor, and it was definitely the worst chicken hibachi I've had to date. The yam sauce was laughable. To top it off, there was a strange guy peeking out from behind the curtains while taking orders. On a positive note, the cashier was friendly.

This is my favorite spot to visit whenever I'm in the beach area. I discovered it about a year ago, and I must say they do an outstanding job. The food is always well-cooked and prepared, the portions are just right, and the customer service is consistently excellent. I can't wait to return soon!

I eat here once or twice a week and never have a bad experience. The restaurant is very clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is consistently great. Steak hibachi is comparable to other similar restaurants at half price. Hibachi express because there is no show. Definitely recommend!

I usually cross the bridge to get Asian food at a different location. I tried this restaurant because it was much closer to me on beachside. The orange chicken was really good. The vegetable fried rice was super fresh and the hibachi steak was tender and tasty. We had various appetizers and some other of the usual entrees and honestly everything was good and nothing was leftover which is unusual for us. Definitely worth the visit.
